If someone has posted something like this before, I couldn't find it.
What this does:
It will redirect visitors to a static webpage of your choosing incase a connection to the mySQL server could not be established.
Every so often, The SQL server of our host becomes unresponsive, usually only for a few minutes, but, it's still annoying to try and load the site and have it take forver then be finally be greeted with a lovely SQL error. So, now people can get a nice friendly error page instead.
Feel free to modify and mess with it however you choose.
